  • "The atmosphere was set when the location is in as beautiful place as the Leadenhall Market, and Lamb Tavern pub."

Cons:

  • "The music and the crowd altogether can be loud though. So if you’re looking for a place to properly have a conversation in, this ain’t it."
  • "Gets crowded after five with all the blue suits from the financial district."
  • "Like the New Moon pub, it can occasionally become claustrophobic after work with a mass of insurance brokers and underwriters from the nearby Lloyds of London building."
  • "It can be a wait at the bar but the staff are fast once you get to the front."
  • "Utter chaos. 1000 people drinking in and outside this pub with 20min waits to get drinks but the atmosphere in the market is always great around christmas and so worth it."

  • "The menu is varied and will certainly give you satisfaction."
